LDN 1622 – The Boogeyman Nebula

LDN 1622 is a dense, dark cloud of interstellar dust and gas located in the constellation Orion. Situated roughly 500 light-years away, it appears as a silhouette against a backdrop of ionized hydrogen gas, often near the larger Barnard's Loop. Due to it’s spooky shape, it has earned it the nickname Boogeyman Nebula.
